      What if just Ralph Sampson? Would you say that? He will soon be 19, does not have an exceptional handle or stop quickness like KD, and considering he is so big playing against G League competition, is not a great rebounder or passer. Look at Shaq and KD’s stats at the same age to see how they dominated. My guess is he will be better than Sampson but not in KD or Dirk’s class.

    The last generational talent was Lebron drafted in 2003. It took him 9 years to win his first championship and he did it with an already loaded Miami Heat. Just because you draft a really good player, it doesn't mean he will win a championship for you and if so it will take several years no matter how good he is. No doubt he will be a great player that's for certain, a championship well that's not so certain in today's ever changing NBA.

      I don't understand why you are so scared of playing 82 games... Any professional player from Spain playing for a good team plays in the league, the cup and the Euroleague. This season, for example, they will play at least 89 games and a maximum of 121. The usual thing is that a player from Real Madrid or Barcelona exceeds 100. Obviously, it will depend on whether he is called up for the FIBA world championship and how his team fares during the season.

    It’s crazy to me how there have been so many successful 7 footer’s in nba history that have had really long career’s but just that extra 4-6 inches can cause huge problems in the body joints, ligaments, bones etc.. and cut the career super short. He is just like how Porzingis was when he came in the league with the shooting abilities just 1 inch taller. When Porzingis came into the league no one had ever seen a 7’3 player with his shooting abilities but he has missed so many games due to knee issues. Its always the feet or the knees for these super tall guys.

    I really pray that the NBA coaches won't decide to change his weight "because he's too skinny". Shooting is directly correlated to weight. If a person is naturally 90kg (200lbs) then as example going down to 85kg (190lbs) or going up to 95kg (210lbs) will most likely ruin their shot and lower the percentage. Also with his height any major increase of weight might make him more prone to injuries and noone wants that

    7'5", 8 foot wingspan, 10 foot standing reach. He can touch the rim standing flat footed. And he can touch the back of the backboard when he jumps. For those who think he's too skinny, remember they said that about Durant, too. In fact, this guy strikes me as a combination of Durant and Giannis.

    • @inefekt
      @inefekt 2 роки тому

      Durant isn't 7"5 barefoot....in fact, he's 6.9.5" barefoot...people call him 7ft because he's at least 6'11 with shoes on. Also, nobody knows if Wemby has stopped growing, he might end up 7'6 or 7'7 (which I believe would equal the tallest ever NBA player). That is a massive difference in height to KD, there really is no comparison at all between the two. And what's more, KD weight 215lb at the draft combine, Wemby weighs LESS than that (210lb) while being significantly taller....dude is a living matchstick, he makes young KD look like a bodybuilder

    • @yulewave1
      @yulewave1 Рік тому +1

      Don't remember anyone really ever saying that about Durant because he was almost always a perimeter player and weight wasn't even considered an issue based on his frame. Wembanyama on the other hand has the frame of a Shawn Bradley and looks like he will have trouble adding weight and keeping it on which has been seen before by freakishly tall players.

    Something to note about this going forward. The pelicans have the option to swap picks with the lakers in next years draft from the Anthony Davis trade. If the lakers have the terrible season they look like they are on track to have, they will have a good chance of winning the draft lottery. If they win the lottery, the pelicans will end up with the number 1 pick.
    The team of wembanyama, Zion (healthy), and Brandon Ingram on top of the good cast of role players they already have has the potential to be a league breaking team.
    This obviously depends on a lot of things happening and the odds of winning the lottery as the worst team in the league has gone down with the new lottery rules but just think of the possibilities man.
